correct letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet.
A Breath Test For Detecting Cancer
In the small study of less than 80 participants published in the British Journal of
Surgery, researchers from the University Aldo Moro of Bari in Italy found a profile of
breath-based chemicals that are linked to colorectal cancer. The scientists collected
exhaled breath from 37 patients with colorectal cancer and 41 healthy control
participants, and evaluated them for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could
be red flags for cancer. According to the researchers, cancer tissues operate
differently compared to non-cancerous cells and may release a distinct chemical
signature.
Indeed, the researchers identified 15 of 58 specific compounds in VOC that correlated
with colorectal cancer, and were able to distinguish with over 75% accuracy
which patients had cancer and which were healthy. Among the cancer patients, the
team correctly identified 19 as having colorectal tumors.
Among men and women, colon cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S.
Having a simple and low-cost way to detect the disease could provide an alternative
to colonoscopies, which are discouraging for many people. “The technique of breath
sampling is very easy and non-invasive, although the method is still in the early phase
of development,” said the study’s lead author Dr. Donato F. Altomare in a statement.
“Our study’s findings provide further support for the value of breath testing as a
screening tool.”
The current study isn’t the first to analyze breath for cancer clues. Previous research
in dogs has looked at the link between VOCs and detection; German researchers
found that dogs could be trained to ‘sniff out’ lung cancer in patients by picking up on
slight volatile organic compounds changes in patients’ breath. Other scientists have
investigated changes in mouth odors as an indicator for diabetes and kidney and liver
disease.

SCRIPT
Woman: I’m Lucy Holmes and I’me here today to tell you about my work. People ask me why I decided to
start a new magazine. Well, I’ve been a journalist for many years working for newspapers and magazines
in this country and abroad. I’ve always dreamt of starting my own magazine, not because I want to be
rich but because I want to do something different. And now I’ve done it! It is different from other
magazines and I’m sure it’s going to be successful
So, what’s the magazine like? I should explain that it’s a local magazine that will come out each
Thursday- it’s the same size as the local weekly newspaper and in fact looks very similar, but it doesn’t
carry news and it doesn’t report on events as they happen. I think this is the important difference. You
can buy it in all the usual places you would buy your local newspaper.
The magazine itself is divided in two main parts; the first half is a what’s on guide which contains
information about everything that’s happening in the city over a seven-day period. There are music and
film reviews, and information about special events, so you can decide what’s worth spending your tiem
on . And it’s also got local bus timetables and useful phone numbers.
There are also reports on restaurants. But we’re not going to write only good things about the restaurants
we choose, because these are not advertisement. They are the honest opinions of our journalists. That’s
strength of this magazine, the writers are all independent journalists who say what they think.
That’s one half of the magazine, the other half is the articles. We want to write about the lives of local
people. They may be famous or not byt they have all done something interesting such as developing a
new business. There are several famous artists in the city, like Lisa Goodchild who has talked to us about
her life in the first issue. We hope to interview a wide variety of people
I’m really happy because there are some fantastic journalists living in the area, many of them busy
writing for national papers, and they’re supporting the new magazine by writing for it. The journalists are
happy because the magazine has room for longer articles so they have more space to give their opinions.
So, anyone who’s interested….

MAN: well, thank you for inviting me here today to talk to you about the riding and holiday
centre I run. I understand that some of you are keen to visit us. We opened the centre six years
ago and organise holidays for people of all levels of experience.
Let me tell you about a normal day’s programme. You’ll probably be pleased to know we don’t
make you get up too early! After breakfast at 8.30 we begin at about 10 o’clock by getting the
horses ready. You need to make sure you have the right equipment before the ride begins at
about 11.30
For the first few minutes we go quite slowly, braking for about an hour at midday, near a beach
or lake where you can swim or sunbathe. We arrive back at the Centre at about 4 o’clock.
Everyone has to wear a hard hat and these are available free or charge at the Centre. Trainers
are no good for riding, I’m afraid. Strong shoes or boots with a small heel are best. Warm clothes
such as jeans and sweater, some swimwear and a small shoulder bag for carrying a packed lunch
are useful.
All our accommodation is in double rooms with bathrooms. We have a television room and a
games room and there is a safe area in the garden for children to play in.
In the local area there are lots of things to see and do. Both golf and fishing are available and
there is an excellent museum not far away.
And now for the price, well, a four-day holiday is 292 pounds per person and that includes the
riding, the equipment, the accommodation and all food.
If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them now. Thank you.
